WHAT HAPPENS TO 100,000 MEN?
Do you know what happens to
100,000 men born on the same day?
94,320 live to be one year old. The
first year of life is the hardest. 88,-
788 live to be 21, showing that about
as many die during the first year as
during the next 20; 71,551 live
to be 52, while only 32,916 reach 72.
Note the tremendous loss—about
38,000—between the golden years of
52 and 72, when life is worth most
and responsibilities are greatest.
What can be done to stop this life-
waste ? Scientists tell us that a year-
ly health examination is the best
weapon that can be employed.
FINDS LACK OF SLEEP IS “IMMORAL”
Sleep is more important than food
or water, Dr. Harry M. Johnston
Mellon Institute research fellow, says.
“Sleep is one of the very few
things that are essential to life,” he
said. “It must be ranked ahead of
water and food. It comes next to air
‘as a human need. If man were de-
.prived of sleep he would probably
die in 10 days. But he would reach
a state bordering upon insanity in
seven or eight days.”
Dr. Johnston heads the Simmons
Investigation of Sleep, which has
‘been conducting researches on sleep
and its effects for seven years in the
Mellon laboratories.
“It is man's duty,” he said, “as a
‘member of a social g Jup to take
enough sleep. It is immoral for him
to take too little.
“Tired people behave remarkably
like drunken people. They are usu-
ally clumsy. They become careless
and negligible of important things.
"They become unreasonable, selfish,
peevish and reckless.
“Is the tired mother capable of
dealing wisely with her problems?
Is the tired, sleepy auto driver a safe
driver” Fatigue and loss of sleep
make the sleepy driver a public
menace. Railroad officials, the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, Indus-
trial employers and business heads
know the inadequacies of tired help-
ers.
“Prolonged fatigue is not honor-
able of itself. Nor is it an infalltble
sign that the person who suffers it
has been useful.”
Length of sleep, he said, depends
upon the person, his state of health,
what he is doing, the kind of de-
‘mands he tries to meet. Sleep is ac-
‘companied definite ological
changes. Intellectual ers require,
or at least take less sleep than work-
ers at hard manual labor.
Dr. Johnston told of studying hab-
its of 150 persons during the seven
years of laboratory research. In addi-
tion, more than a million observa-
tions were taken through photogra- .
phy.
BABY'S MILK NEEDS CARE IN SUM-
MER
Babies must have pure mjlk prop-
erly cared for if they are to be
well in hot weather.
When milk is delivered it should
not be allowed to stand in the sun,
or even in a warm room, but should
be placed immediately in the refrig-
The temperature of the ice-
box should never be over 50 degrees.
Cold water may be used in
the country in lieu of an ice-box. A
~ “spring house” takes the place of ar-
- tificial cooling systems.
Bottles in which milk is deliverea
‘are cleaned and sterilized before the
~milk is put in, so it is better to allow
it to stand in these containers until
used.
If milk is to be modified, or mixed
with other ingredients, it is better
to prepare enough for a day's use at
- one time.
The feeding bottles and nipples
must be cleaned thoroughly, and
boiled at least 20 minutes before the
mixture is poured in. These bottles
should be allowed to cool first, of
“course.
Every utensil used in the process
of mixing the daily food should be
boiled, including the bowl, pitcher,
spoons, brush and funnel, and even
the cap remover. When the bottles
are filled they should be stopped with
clean sterilized cotton or corks that
have been boiled, then set immedi-
ately near the ice. No bottle should
be disturbed or brought out until it
is to be warmed for use.
It is better to warm the food right
in the bottle by setting it in a pan
of warm water and allowing it to
‘come up to the desired temperature.
Cold bottles plunged into very hot
water may break.
If the contents are emptied out in-
to a small pan to warm, that pan
should be perfectly sterile.
The cap of a milk bottle will col-
lect dust germs from the street. In
removing it, wipe it off first with a
ciean cloth; also wipe around the!
edge of the bottle where hands have
touched it with a cloth dipped in
boiling water.

FERGUSON TOWNSHIP BOY
KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Aaron Charles Kepler, only son of
Mrs. Millie Kepler, of Ferguson
township, was instantly killed, about
8.30 o'clock on the evening of June
27th, when he was hit by an auto-
mobile driven by Vance Taylor, of
State College. The boy was walk-
ing along the State highway, near
his home, and when hit, was thrown
about fifty feet, landing head first
against a post. His neck was
| broken, skull fractured and body
‘badly bruised. The driver of the
car stopped, picked up the boy and
took him to the office of Dr. Woods,
(in Pine Grove Mills, who stated that
he had been killed instantly. A
coroner's inquest exonerated the
driver of the car.
The lad was a son of Aaron C.
(deceased) and Millie Kepler and
was born in Ferguson township on
October 15th, 1917, hence was in his
14th year. He had passed his eighth
grade tests and would have entered
the Ferguson township High school
in September. His father died two
years ago but surviving him are his
mother and two sisters, Estella and
Millicent.
He was a member of the boys’
class in the Baileyville Presbyterian
Sunday school and a Boy Scout. The
funeral was held on Tuesday after-
noon of last week. Rev. J. Max
Kirkpatrick had charge and was as-
sisted by Rev. J.S. English and Rev.
Samuel B. Brown. Burial was made
in the new cemetery at Pine Grove
Mills, six Boy Scouts acting as pall-
bearers.
PHILIPSBURG MAN ALSO KILLED
BY AUTOMOBILE.
Aaron Steele, 61-year-old resident
of South Philipsburg, was the victim
of a hit-and-run driver, at 10.30
o'clock on the night of June 26th,
when he was walking along the road |
near Philipsburg. A fractured skull
resulted in almost instant death. He
leaves a wife and nine children, five |
He also leaves six broth- |
at home.
ers and sisters. Burial was made in
the Philipsburg cemetery on Monday
afternoon of last week.
Charles Vail, 18 years old, of New
Liberty, Clearfield county, has been
arrested as the driver of the hit-
and-run car which killed Steele.

BRIDGE CONTRACT GIVEN
TO LOWEST BIDDER.
When borough council convened in
' special session, on the evening of
June 26th to further consider the
bids for the Lamb street bridge,
‘secretary Kelly read a communica-
tion from the Bellefonte Engineer-
ing and Construction company, with- |
drawing the company’s bid. Mr. Em- |
erick reported that State Highway
Department officials had reported
that the only bid they would approve |
was that of the lowest bidder, Wal- |
ter H. Drawbaugh, of Dover, Pa. A |
communication was received from |
Mr. Drawbaugh stating that it would
require only a small force of men
to construct the bridge, and that he |
would employ about one-third local
labor. On motion the contract was
unanimously awarded to him.
Mr. Emerick reported that so far
the State sanitary water board had |
not approved the plans for the pro-
posed sewer down Spring creek, and |
president Walker suggested that a
committee go to Harrisburg and take
the matter up personally with Dr.
Appel.
Mr. Ardery again called attention |
to the fish pond constructed in the
overflow stream from the big spring,
stating that the trout put in there
would not eat and it was the gen-
eral impression that most of them
will die if kept there. Mr. Emerick
stated in seining the trout from be-
low the falls many of them were
driven down stream where they
were caught by fishermen. One|
man, he said, caught seventeen.
As the fish commission had grant- |
ed the permit for the construction
of the pond president Walker sug-
gested that the same committee going
to Harrisburg to see Dr. Appel also
interview Mr. Deibler relative to the
removal of the fish pond.
RAINFALL ABOVE NORMAL
DURING PAST WEEK.
Centre county has had a succes-
sion of hard rain storms during the
‘past week and the result is that the
[ground is pretty weil soaked. A
|hard storm, last Wednesday, did |
| considerable damage over in Green
Valley. Another on Thursday eve-
| ning damaged gardens and corn
|fields up Buffalo Run valley. On|
| Friday there were two terrific down-
pours. Out near Pleasant Gap the
water was two feet deep over the!
State highway and automobiles de- |
(toured by way of Zion. The same
|storms washed out half a mile of

West Penn customer).
In addition, Mrs. C.. P. S. could enjoy the many advantages of
electric cooking by using approximately 130 more kilowatt
hours.
Since she is using 41 kilowatt hours, the additional 130 would
cost her $3.76. This total of 171 kilowatt hours at $7.22, in 1923,
would have cost her $14.26 or more.
It is our policy not only to decrease the cost of current step
by step with increased consumption, but also to reduce rates
whenever possible.

ing the collection of unpaid taxes
on back duplicates, which runs into
thousands of dollars.
